> FORMER WWE EMPLOYEE TODD PETTENGILL TO HOST NEW WWE DVD

- Todd Pettengill, the former WWE backstage interviewer and broadcast
commentator, is giving WWE a helping hand once again, hosting the upcoming
In Your House DVD and Blu-Ray which will be released on April 30. The
radio DJ confirmed his contribution in a post on Facebook yesterday when a
fan asked him that he heard a rumor that he might be hosting the DVD. "lol
Yes it's truehad a great time seeing the 'old gang,'" Pettengill replied.
Pettengill made his WWE debut in 1993, doing mainly backstage interviews
after long-time WWE employee Sean Mooney left the company. He hosted
several of the morning WWE shows and worked the pay-per-view pre-shows
until SummerSlam 1997, which was his last event for the company. He is
currently a DJ for WPLJ 95.5 in New York.

> RIC FLAIR MISSES RETURN TO THE RING IN JAPAN

- PWInsider.com is reporting that Ric Flair - who is currently in Japan -
ended up not wrestling during today's All Japan Pro Wrestling show due to
a leg issue. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer and 16 time World Heavyweight
champion was supposed to be tagging with Keiji Mutoh - better known to
most U.S. fans as The Great Muta - to take on Tatsumu Fujinami and Seiya
Sanada. His replacement was his son Reid, who was scheduled to take part
in an earlier match on the show. Reid and Mutoh lost their tag match.

> TAMMY "SUNNY" SYTCH ARRESTED ONCE AGAIN

- NBC in Connecticut reported yesterday that WWE Hall of Famer Tammy
"Sunny" Sytch was arrested in Branford for violating a court order after
she was found at her fiancé's home. The odd thing about this whole story
is that Sytch and her fiancé - Damien Darling - announced that they were
engaged earlier this year even though that she was arrested five times
prior to yesterday for the same thing. After her last arrest last year,
Sunny was released and ordered to go to rehab which WWE paid for however
the treatment didn't seem to have worked as she is still causing trouble.
Sytch is now being held on a $100,000 bond and will be arraigned at New
Haven Superior Court on Monday.
